Normally, Radio 4's 'Today' programme make a fairly big thing of by-elections, but this wasn't given extensive treatment this morning.

Plenty of other big stories, floods, another major storm coming, DLT, a Labour bye election victory in a northern working class seat is a "bears defecate in woods" type story. If Labour'd lost like in Bradford it'd it'd have been the lead.

"This is a very wealthy country, money is no object" D. Cameron February 2014

Plenty of other big stories, floods, another major storm coming, DLT, a Labour bye election victory in a northern working class seat is a "bears defecate in woods" type story. If Labour'd lost like in Bradford it'd it'd have been the lead.

George Galloway has fallen out with his local party; the Respect Councillors have fallen out with the party.

Labour will get Bradford West back in if the block Muslim vote decides to switch sides.

ShamEless was originally shot in location on the real-life West Gorton council estate in East Manchester and in the Pie Factory Studios Salford Since Series 5, the show was filmed from a purpose-built set on the Roundthorn Industrial Estate in South Manchester, on the site of an old warehouse as well as around Wythenshawe and Sale.

Wythenshawe use to be the biggest council estate in Europe and is Labour through and through and through and though - specifically Old Labour hence the relative success of UKIP on the immigration issue.

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!
